Ärende: the fix 229
===================

Is there a universal boot disk that would work across all
x86 architectures?

 NB> DOS, actually... And for what happened this time, I push the on/off

 NB> all, and when the line flashes on the screen, press DEL to enter SETUP,
 NB> that's what I do.

Interesting. When I get a setup message, it stays there
for only a fraction of a second. I don't know whether I'd
be able to get any use out of it in an emergency. 

 NB> fix is part of the setup procedure, telling the computer what it has to
 NB> work with so that it can access the hard drive and boot up the
 NB> operating system...  (or something like that...  [g])

So after a manner of speaking the Wizard is actually a bit
of a wizard.

That would defeat the purpose of the test.
